An aide to a prominent UK politician has been caught in a nude photo scandal.

According to the Sun newspaper, explicit photos of Lizzy Vaid, the events manager for Nigel Farage’s U.K. Independence Party (UKIP), were leaked to the publication. The Sun described the images of the 27-year-old as “too graphic to reproduce — or even describe” in online or print.

Vaid has reportedly blamed her ex-boyfriend as the person who leaked the photos to the tabloid. She has also contacted authorities. When asked, a UKIP referred to the situation as "a personal matter."

On April 23, Vaid became the focus of a different kind of scandal involving the use of her image in a UKIP poster. Vaid posed as an ordinary voter on the poster, and in no way acknowledged that she is a UKIP employee, reports the New York Daily News.
